FARM NOTES

Potash fertilizers have decidedly i'm
proved desirable qualities of fruits when
ever applied.
1t is claimed that serrel can be eradi-
Gated from fields by the general applica-
ton of unleached wood ashes.
Don't use any parsnip seed unless it be
last years growth, as such seed does not
rapidly terminate if old.
Minnesota state university is to have
an advisory board of seven farmers to
manage its agricultural department..
Fruit growers say that raspberries
grown for evaporation can be much
more easily gathered by knocking the
fruit off.
Whenever pear trees are attacked by
blight, which comes without warming,
cut away every blighted portion and burn
it,
Do not feed meal or any other food
that is full of parasites, as it will cause
worms in the fowls. If you use such,
not only scald it, but cook thoroughly,
and it will do no harm.
1t is often better to hatch the turkey
eggs under the hen than under the turkey
hen, as the hen turkey is too impatient
of confinement and is apt to lead her
young ones away at an early age.
Market men say that the demand for
currants is increasing yearly. The old
way of shipping in bulk is giving place
to berry crates and baskets.
The net profits from the sale of small
fruit by two young ladies in California
last year, one of whom was consump-
tive when she began, amounted to the
handsome sum of $4,000.
The agricultural products of Germany,
exclusive of wheat, amount to two thirds
as much as those of the United States,
and yet we have single states whose area
exceeds that of the German Empire.
Never use sulphur on the bodies of
young chicks for gapes or any other dis
ease. Lard and sulphur applied while in
the downy state wills cause sores and tor
ture, sometimes death. This we have
found true-to our cost.
Young chickens, as soon as wean ed,
should be provided with suitable perches.
Make them low and on a level. 1t will
be better for their health to get the
young fowls off the ground as soon as
possible. Do net neglect to provide
door or slide.
Pick out your breeders, says the Farm
journal, tho pigs with long bodies, broad
backs and deep round hams. Select a

animal. 1t is protection in summer
and in winter.
In twenty days the eggs of one hen
would exceed the weight of her body.
So of any bird. Yet the whole of that
mass of albumen is drawn directly from
her body. If stinted in food, of course
it would limit the number as we'll as the
size of the eggs.

In order to have the oxalis flower to
perfection during the winter months,
they should be SO placed as to be fully
exposed to the sun as much as possible.
They grow we'll enough in any light
situation, bat if flowers are wanted, they
must be exposed to the sun.

for couple OF DAYS. Besides the 'bil-

Now" said Sir Henry ''let Us eat and

We each eat 4 small portion of the ''bil-

and N lde Il systematic examination of the
walls of our prison house, in the faint hope
Of finding some means OF exit, sounding
them and the floors carefully.
There was none. 1t was not probable
that there would be one to a treasure-cham-
Der.
The lamp began to burn dim. The fat
was nearly exhausted.
''Quatermain,' said Sir Henry, what is

He may search in vain. He does not
know the secret of the door, not even where

| except Gagool. To-day no one knows it.
Even if he found the door he could not
break it down. All the Kukuana army
could not break through five feet of living
rock. My friends, l SEE nothing for it but
to bow ourselves to the will OF the Almighty.
The search for treasure has brought many
to bad end; we shall 20 to swell their num-

A Good Bull.
William Fairweather in Ohio Farmer.


The points of a dairy bull should be
in great measure those of cow, modi-
fed by sex. His head should be broad
with good sized muzzle. Horns of ID ed
1um size and tapering, eye clear and in
telligent, yet mild and expressive, throat
clean and free from loose skin. His
neck should be of fair length, clean cut
at the head, and arched. A full neck at
the top is not an objection, but rather
to be preferred, as showing strength,
vigoi and muscular development. The
shoulder should be thin and close to the
body, and the spine moderately we'll de-
fined, his hips broad, back straight, and
the tail set on a level with the back. The
body should be we'll ribbed, deep at the
flank and well filled behind the shoulders,
the legs should be short, fine and firmly
set, he should be well quartered, light in
front and heavy behind. Reject as a
poison any animal that shows a noun
tain of beef in front, and light hind
quarter; he may get you beef animal,
but his chances of getting mixer are
poor indeed. The thighs should be thin
and wide apart, and the scrotum well de-
veloped, of light color and soft texture;
the addition of teats is a good Indication
and the larger they are the more likely
Will they be transmitted in good size to
the offspring. The tail should be long
and slim, with bushy switch and clean
drop. The general get-up should be
masculine, graceful and and pleasing.
In Scotland, where the farmers have to
pay high rents and heavy taxes, they ex-
ercise the greatest care in the selection
of bulls to head their herds, as the future
excellence of their rent producers and
family supporters all depend on the
judicio1s selection of the sire. On such
occasions the grave and careful way in
which the Scottish farmer examines the

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
OCTOBER WOODS.
JAMES E. POTTER.

Looming up from out the mist
OF the smoky atmosphere.
Liz e an army fast approaching,
Bearing flags in front and rear:
Autuu woods by nature painted
With her colors rare ana old.
Like the paintings in cathedraiS
Hung in frames inlaid with gold
Fins and beech trees clothed in yellow,
blrcn and maple decked in red,
Glowing in the mellow sunshine
VI an autumn day near sped.
Oaks that red men held as sacred
10 their great King. Mantle.
Underneath which fires were kindled
Ihat he might appease their woe.
Wnen IN suffering or in sorrow
They were bowed with hearts contrite,
Now stand motioness as statues
In their loose flung robes of white.
Like an OLD man sadly muSing,
Wondering at his locks SO gray,
so the old oaks seem to sorrow,
Brushing leaves for ears away
Sailing, turning, falling slowly,
Settling nearer, closer down.
FAN the leaves from birch and chestnut,
Tinted and DER f1ecked with brown.
All the woods have for a carpet
railing leaves now dry and sere,
ANA their rustic like weird music
Falls so strangely on the ear,
That il seasons have their dirgeS,
Played and sung at autumn close,
RuStllng leaves must be the music
That enchants them to repose
The sue DER western hill-tops
Floods the woodland with its light;
Now sinking Ike bali of fire,
The earth is clothed in night.
But soon DER eastern mountains
The hunters moon looks down,
The mellow light falls checkered
Through the oak leaves or the ground,
Aud breezes as they gently pass
Whisper through the signing trees,

The Daughters Room.
Boston Budget.

Every girl likes to think that her bed
room is her own, where she reigns su-
preme, and with right that is undisputed.
This is a natural and noble feeling, and
mothers should encourage it. Encourage
her to adorn and beautify this room in
every way her fertile imagination may de-
wise. Let it be hers where she can retire
for study or deeper thought; and especial
ly let her know that it is hers to keep in
perfect order and neatness. Here is an
opportunity to foster elements of charac-
ter that are essential in the woman, to ex-
ercise individual ideas and tastes, and Gull
t,7ate an interest in the domestic do
main. Care and management of the
other rooms of the house belong more to
the head of the family.
